First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for reducing the rollover risk of an automotive vehicle (10) including a controllable suspension system (24-27), which comprises:
- a first step of calculating, on the basis of a plurality of signals delivered by sensors (28, 29) of the controllable suspension system, a measured quantity (TCm) as an active value (TC) of a load transfer;
a second step of calculating an estimated quantity (TCe), on the basis of signals delivered by kinematic sensors (50-58) placed onboard the vehicle (10) and a dynamic model (M) of the vehicle, said estimated quantity being taken as an active value of the load transfer when the measured quantity is not available;
a step of evaluating the rollover risk on the basis of the active value (TC) of the load transfer; and
, in the event of increased rollover risk, anda step of the emission of a safety signal (S).
